Tried to find the Firestone Firehawk tire in 27X8.5R14, and it appears that's it not available anymore. It happened to me with another tire which I was trying to order for our westy. If anyone knows a source for Firestone Firehawk in 27 X 8.5 R14, I'd appreciate the info. I searched this site and some others: http://www.1010tires.com/tiresearch.asp?tirebrand=Firestone H.

I have used a set of Firestone Firehawk in that size on my '85 Westy and ejoyed the wider footprint and 1535 lbs load handling at 55 psi. They ride a little better, IMHO, and do corners better than the 8-ply Bridgestones on my '84 Westy. Beware that the 27x8.5 is not recommended for rims narrower than 6''.
